Physical Education
PE Vision
At Central Park, we aim to provide our children with the opportunity to partake, compete in and enjoy a wide variety of sport. Our vision is to create a positive and encouraging environment in which children feel involved, engaged, challenged and safe. We want our children to develop their physical ability, tactical knowledge, leadership capacity, fitness and team work. We hope to make our children optimistic about what their future holds so they can go on to be sporting stars of the future, at all levels and in a wide variety of sports. Implementing this vision involves providing our children with coaching opportunities and inter-school competitions to develop their love of sport and self-development.
